Re: [Bacula-users] manual recycling

Hello,
I recommend that you read through the "Recycling Your Volumes"
chapter of the manual, or to get the quick and dirty answer
without all the gory details, read:
http://www.bacula.org/html-manual/recycling.html#manualrecycling
Best regards,
Kern
PS: Version 1.30 will be released later today or tomorrow
morning. Everything is finished except: one last regression test,
building it on FreeBSD and Solaris, and all the gory details
of building the release files and posting them.
